GL Gl 914B is an uncommon star. It lies about 1,274 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Peg, shines at apparent magnitude 9.84 and has spectral type G0.
It is a binary: two stars orbiting a shared centre of mass. More than half of all the 'stars' you can see are actually multiple systems.
Look for GL Gl 914B in the constellation Peg. At apparent magnitude 9.84, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, GL Gl 914B is best seen from a dark site away from city lights, and when it is above the horizon depends on your latitude and the time of year. The visibility panel above works out tonight's viewing window for your saved location.
GL Gl 914B scores 23 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 11 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Star, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Binary star and Sun-like G-type star — each earned for a real, measurable property of the object. Rarity on Spacedle is never random: the more remarkable an object's astrophysics, the more badges it collects, the higher it scores, and the rarer it ranks.
